My name is Stu and I am here to share what I can.

First, corrigendum is nominative future passive of corrigere, "to correct". Corrigendum is almost the same as the more familiar erratum. Erratum means that it's the printer's fault, corrigendum means that it's the author's fault.

Second, to those of you who receive my blog entries by email, the original Descartes bit was an original draft, rife with mistakes. Please use a web browser to go to my blog to see the final draft, which I crafted until it looked nice.

Third, to those of you who don't care or come here via the web, head on home with yourselves, there's nothin' to see here.
